SUMMARY:【Macao Humanities Forum】The Facets of the New Culture Movement by Prof Chen Pingyuan from Peking University
DESCRIPTION:We are very pleased to announce that the 5th Lecture of the FAH Macao Humanities Forum (2023/2024) will be held on 15 Apr 2024. The forum aims to provide a platform for world-renowned scholars from diverse humanities fields to share their research with the FAH community and other UM scholars. All members of the UM community are cordially invited to this splendid event. \n  \nIn this upcoming forum\, we are honored to have Prof. Chen Pingyuan as our guest speaker to deliver a lecture on the topic “The Facets of the New Culture Movement”. Prof. Chen Pingyuan is currently first-class professor of Philosophy and Social Sciences of China\, Peking University Boya Chair Professor\, and Director of the Institute of Modern Chinese Humanities at Peking University\, and a member of the China Central Institute for Culture and History. Prof. Chen was the former Head of the Chinese Department of Peking University\, a member of the 6th and 7th Chinese Language and Literature Discipline evaluation group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council\, and President of the Chinese Institute of Folk Literature. Over the past 30 years\, Prof. Chen has received countless awards for his prolific academic research output\, having published more than 40 books related to Chinese novels and prose\, such as Transformation of the Narrative Mode of Chinese Novels\, Touches of History: An Entry into ‘May Fourth” China\, The Unfinished ‘May Fourth’ Movement\, and How to Educate Literature. He was designated a “Chinese Doctoral Degree recipient with outstanding Contributions” by the State Education Commission and the Academic Degrees Committee of The State Council (1991). Prof. Chen was also awarded the 1st\, 2nd\, 3rd\, 5th\, 6th and 9th Outstanding Scientific Research Output Award (Humanities and Social Sciences) for Higher Education Institutions (1995\, 1998\, 2003\, 2009\, 2013\, 2024)\, and other awards including the 4th Wang Yao Academic Award (2016)\, the 4th Simian Original Award (2017)\, the 14th Wenjin Book Award (2019)\, and a Book Nomination Award in the 5th China Publishing Government Awards (2021)\, among others. \n  \nDetails of the forum are as below: \nSpeaker: Prof. Chen Pingyuan  \nTopic: The Facets of the New Culture Movement  \nDate: 15 Apr 2024 (Mon) \nTime: 16:00 – 17:30* \nVenue: On-Site (E21A-3118) / ZOOM ( https://umac.zoom.us/j/99271203610 ) \nLanguage: Mandarin (with simultaneous interpretation into English on Zoom) \n*Light refreshments will be provided on a first-come-first-served basis \n  \nAbstract: \nThe New Culture Movement didn’t fall out of thin air\, nor was it solely achievable through the efforts of individuals like Chen Duxiu and Hu Shi. The period from 1898 to 1927 should be comprehended and interpreted as a unified entity. This approach aims to diminish the dramatic nature of “events” and highlight the lengthy and tortuous “evolution”. From the nascent beginnings to the widespread impact\, there was a long struggle\, and not everyone was fortunate enough to catch the golden opportunity. It’s like a multi-act play where those who show up on stage at the beginning might exit halfway through\, and the supporting roles in the first act might become leading roles in subsequent acts. Those who play until the final act are not necessarily the ultimate winners. The whole cast should receive applause at the curtain call\, not just the leads or the last performers. \n  \nPlease register for the forum by 12 April 2024 (Fri) via https://umac.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_50E61Wlgq6ex07c

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Affective Basis of Cognition and Reasoning in Non-human Animals" by Prof. Sanja Srećković\, Ruhr University Bochum\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/93537268512 \nPassword: 437792 \n  \nAbstract \nThe talk starts by presenting what I call ‘the two problems of animal reasoning’. The first problem concerns the mainstream understanding of reasoning in philosophy of mind and epistemology\, which faces significant difficulties explaining a growing body of empirical results in animal cognition research. The second problem concerns the interpretation of the same empirical results within comparative psychology\, namely\, whether they are best explained by appeal to (‘lower’) associative or (‘higher’) cognitive mechanisms. Some recent developments have led to a crisis of both this practice and the distinction between the ‘associative’ and the ‘cognitive’. In response to these two problems\, I develop an affect-based approach to reasoning\, which broadens the conception of reasoning to include the non-human cases. I also show that affective experiences exhibit both ‘associative’ and ‘cognitive’ characteristics\, further challenging the strict dichotomy between them\, which might more fruitfully be replaced by a continuum. \n  \nBio \nSanja Srećković received her Ph.D. degree in Philosophy at the University of Belgrade in 2019\, where she continued working as a Research Associate. During her PhD\, she was a visiting scholar at York University in Toronto\, where she did research on mental representation and animal cognition. In February 2024\, she won an EPSA Fellowship for a research visit to the University of Geneva\, to work on philosophy of emotions and philosophy of biology. In 2024 she became a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at Ruhr University Bochum\, where she joined Alber Newen’s research group. Her current work combines research on mental representation\, reasoning and affective experiences from a comparative and developmental perspective. The goal of her research project is to develop a framework for understanding reasoning that does not depend on linguistic capability and can include non-linguistic reasoning agents. She is also exploring the role of affective and emotional experiences in developing more abstract cognitive capacities.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Transparency\, Moore’s Paradox and the Concept of Belief " by Prof. Adam Andreotta\, Curtin University\, Australia
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95298043328 \nPassword: 568626 \n  \nAbstract \nIn this paper\, I take a closer look at the relationship between belief and judgement. I argue for the output thesis—the thesis that conscious judgements give rise to occurrent beliefs. I then go on to suggest that the output thesis provides independent support for the transparency method and an independent explanation of why Moore’s Paradox arises. My view stands in contrast to views in the literature which are sceptical of there being such a close connection between judgement and belief\, and also provides a challenge to those who support the transparency method by appealing to Moore’s Paradox. Along the way I discuss some of the implications of the output thesis for current characterisations of judgement and belief. Finally\, I address a significant objection to the output thesis—namely\, the set of cases where subjects assert that P\, but behave in ways that suggest they believe not-P. I argue that such cases do not undermine the output thesis. \n  \nBio \nProfessor Adam Andreotta is a Lecturer at Curtin University in Western Australia. He received his doctoral degree in Philosophy from the University of Western Australia in July 2018. ​His main research topic is the philosophy of self-knowledge—a major topic at the intersection of epistemology and the philosophy of mind. His Ph.D. thesis\, First-Person Authority and its Limits\, defended a view of self-knowledge called the transparency method—a view which differs from traditional inward-looking accounts of introspection. He has continued to publish work on the transparency method and other topics pertaining to self-knowledge. Beyond this\, he has published on the philosophy of artificial intelligence\, specifically on the Ethics of Big Data and AI Rights\, as well as the history of philosophy\, with a keen interest in the philosophical works of David Hume.

Join at any time! \nThe couplet is a hallmark of traditional Chinese culture—a crafty and profound phrase that captures the essence of a photograph through the use of rhythmic cadence. Whether it narrates\, describes\, expresses emotions\, or conveys moral lessons\, it employs a variety of rhetorical techniques. This not only allows one to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the photograph but also to revel in the linguistic grace\, rhetorical elegance\, conceptual depth\, and melodic charm of the couplet. When a couplet is meticulously crafted to mirror the rhythm\, part of speech\, and structure of its paired sentence\, it emerges as an exquisitely aligned and harmoniously resonant gem. Why not challenge yourself to create a couplet that complements the given photo\, achieving a seamless and delightful pairing?\n\n\nPortuguese Language & Culture Games  | 14:00 – 15:00| FAH Learning Commons \nQuota: No registration required.

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: "But\, but me no buts: Contrastive Markers in Interpreted and Non-Interpreted Policy Speeches"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe rendition of political speeches and political interpreting usually involves the employment of high-level pragmatic competence. In this regard\, the appropriate use and rendition of contrastive markers (CMs)\, i.e. the linguistic indicator that may signal propositions unfavourable or contrastive to people’s presuppositions\, form part of an important pragmatic strategy. Nevertheless\, little empirical evidence has been provided as to how CMs are and should be rendered in political speeches and their interpreting. This study\, therefore\, aims to investigate and compare the employment of two frequently used CMs\, however and but\, in interpreted and non-interpreted policy speeches in English. Datasets in the Chinese/English Political Interpreting Corpus (CEPIC)\, consisting of speeches delivered by top government officials in or interpreted into English\, were employed for the purpose of the study. Findings of the study suggest that the use of the two CMs display different patterns in interpreter speeches and politician speeches\, and in speeches delivered in a monologue mode and a dialogue mode. The pragmatic implications and possible triggers were further explored through examining the top collocates of the CMs. Findings of the study shed new light on issues relating to representativeness and sanction\, or authority and acceptability of political speeches. \nBiography: \nJun Pan works as Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Arts\, and Associate Head and Associate Professor of the Department of Translation\, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies at Hong Kong Baptist University. Her other roles include co-editor of Bandung: Journal of the Global South (Brill) and review editor of The Interpreter and Translator Trainer (Taylor & Francis). She is also President of the Hong Kong Translation Society and Founder of Enter-Link. Dr. Pan’s research interests lie in corpus-based interpreting/translation studies\, political discourse and translation/interpreting\, learner factors in interpreter training\, and professionalism in interpreting.

SUMMARY:Invitation: Department of English Distinguished Lecture Series: ‘On Re-construction of the Image of Rule of Law in China through Translation of Chinese Legal Literature: Problems and Pathways'
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe Chinese civilization of the rule of law has a long history\, and the legal thoughts and knowledge refined in different historical dynasties are recorded in numerous literary masterpieces\, awaiting to be explored and elucidated. The translation of Chinese legal literature\, related to the re-construction of the image of rule of law in China\, is of great significance with some prominent problems remaining to be clarified and pathways to be unraveled. On the basis of existing achievements in adapting Western Law & Literature Movement (1970s) to the Chinese context and the conclusions in connecting literary creation and image construction\, the presenter will clarify the connotation and categorization of Chinese legal literature\, discuss the merits and demerits of the translation of legal literature compared with the translation of legal codes and classics written by Chinese ancient standardizers\, and elaborate on the potential pathways for the re-construction of the image of rule of law in China through the translation of Chinese legal literature in the new era. \nKey words: translation of Chinese legal literature; rule of law in China; image re-construction; problem; pathway \n  \nBiography: \nJunfeng Zhao holds a PhD in forensic linguistics\, being a PhD supervisor\, professor and director of Centre for Translation Studies\, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDUFS).

SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: "Audio description training and assessment: Perceptions and approaches" by Prof. Yan Xiu
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nAudio description (AD) is a language service that helps people who are visually impaired access audio-visual products. The process of AD is cross-modal\, involving the translation of visual images into verbal text. In recent years\, researchers have noted that many of the skills required for interpreters and audio describers are similar\, and that interpreting trainees can benefit from AD training. However\, when AD training is provided in an interpreting program\, it is important to identify the criteria for both AD and interpretation\, and to understand the discrepancies in perceptions between trainers and students\, and between sighted people and people who are visually impaired. Based on an AD training program for interpreting students at a university in Hong Kong\, this study introduces the training approaches and the different perceptions of trainers\, learners and users of AD. The assessment criteria in AD and interpreting training are compared and analysed. \n  \nBiography: \nJackie Xiu Yan received her PhD from the University of Texas at Austin\, USA. She is now Subject Leader of the MA Translation Program in the Department of Linguistics and Translation at City University of Hong Kong\, President of the Hong Kong Audio Description Studies Association (HKADSA)\, and President of the Hong Kong Association of University Women (HKAUW). Her research and teaching interests include language and translator training\, audio description studies\, Applied Linguistics and classical Chinese translation. Her books include Cultural Identity and Language Anxiety (edited)\, Research on Translator and Interpreter Training: A collective Volume of Bibliometric Reviews and Empirical Studies on Learners; The Commentary of the Analects (translation)\, and Chinese Poems Translated by Arthur Waley (edited). She has also edited a series of history works in Chinese translation\, and served as reviewer for important academic journals. In 2021\, she won a silver medal in the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL-IAS Philosophy Forum Distinguished Scholars Series – 4: "Living Chinese Philosophy: ‘Zoetology’ 生生論 as First Philosophy" by Prof. Roger T. Ames
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThe classical Greeks give us a substance ontology grounded in “being qua being” or “being per se” (to on he on) that guarantees a permanent and unchanging subject as the substratum for the human experience. With the combination of eidos and telos as the formal and final cause of independent things such as persons\, this “sub-stance” necessarily persists through change. This substratum or essence includes its purpose for being\, and is defining of the “what-it-means-to-be-a-thing-of-this-kind” of any particular thing in setting a closed\, exclusive boundary and the strict identity necessary for it to be this\, and not that. \nIn the Yijing 易經 or Book of Changes we find a vocabulary that makes explicit cosmological assumptions that are a stark alternative to this substance ontology\, and provides the interpretive context for the Confucian canons by locating them within a holistic\, organic\, and ecological worldview. To provide a meaningful contrast with this fundamental assumption of on or “being” we might borrow the Greek notion of zoe or “life” and create the neologism “zoe-tology” as “the art of living.” This cosmology begins from “living” (sheng 生) itself as the motive force behind change\, and gives us a world of boundless “becomings:” not “things” that are\, but “events” that are happening\, a contrast between an ontological conception of human “beings” and a process conception of what I will call human “becomings.” \n  \nBio \nRoger T. Ames 安樂哲 is Humanities Chair Professor at Peking University\, Senior Academic Advisor of the Peking University Berggruen Research Center\, and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Hawai’i. He is former editor of Philosophy East & West and founding editor of China Review International. Ames has authored several interpretative studies of Chinese philosophy and culture: Thinking Through Confucius (1987)\, Anticipating China (1995)\, Thinking from the Han (1998)\, and Democracy of the Dead (1999) (all with D.L. Hall)\, Confucian Role Ethics: A Vocabulary (2011)\, and most recently Human Becomings: Theorizing ‘Persons’ for Confucian Role Ethics (2020). His publications also include translations of Chinese classics: Sun-tzu: The Art of Warfare (1993); Sun Pin: The Art of Warfare (1996) (with D.C. Lau); the Confucian Analects (1998) and the Chinese Classic of Family Reverence: The Xiaojing (2009) (both with H. Rosemont)\, Focusing the Familiar: The Zhongyong (2001)\, and The Daodejing (with D.L. Hall) (2003). Almost all of his publications are now available in Chinese translation\, including his philosophical translations of Chinese canonical texts. He has most recently published the new Sourcebook in Classical Confucian Philosophy (2023) with its companion A Conceptual Lexicon for Classical Confucian Philosophy (2021)\, continues to write articles promoting a conversation between world pragmatism and Confucian philosophy.
